The lab develops biomaterials aimed at regenerating bone and teeth.
AboutAbout the lab
Studying bone and tooth regeneration through biomaterials
The Biomaterials Science and Engineering Lab is in charge of research and education in tissue engineering, biomedical engineering, and biomaterials science in the oral and orthopedic fields.
The lab focuses on the regeneration of hard tissues such as bone, cartilage, and teeth.
One of its goals is to create artificial tissue engineering approaches using new biomaterials developed to follow the mechanism by which hard tissues form in the body (biomineralization).
The lab was founded in 2004 as the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Functional Reconstruction and took its current name in 2025.
Key terms
- Biomineralization
- The mechanism by which hard tissues containing inorganic substances (minerals), such as bone and teeth, form inside living organisms.
- Octacalcium phosphate
- A type of material called calcium phosphate. Abbreviated as OCP.
- Drug delivery
- Technology for delivering a drug to where it is needed, when it is needed.
ResearchResearch themes
Aiming at reconstruction when hard tissue is lost in areas including the jaw and mouth, the lab is developing carriers (materials that serve as a scaffold) for regeneration and building models to evaluate the process by which shape is restored. By creating experimental systems that combine biological measurement, biomechanics, and biomaterials science, it aims to clarify the relationships among cells, tissues, and morphogenesis.
*Illustrative imageOctacalcium Phosphate and Bone Regeneration
The lab investigates how octacalcium phosphate (OCP), among calcium phosphate materials, affects the process of bone regeneration at the molecular, cellular, and tissue levels.
*Illustrative imageEffects of Mechanical Stress
The lab examines the effects of mechanical stress (stimulation by mechanical force) on local regulation at the cellular and tissue levels.
*Illustrative imageDrug Delivery for Bone Treatment
The lab is developing drug delivery systems (mechanisms that deliver drugs to where they are needed) for use in bone regeneration and the treatment of bone diseases.
